B & A Kitchen and Breakfast Room -

It's finally time to "reveal" the before and after photos of the kitchen/breakfast room…this area may win the award for most dramatic before and after…here are the before pictures:

The kitchen boasted light oak bead board cabinets, dark black glass backsplash and cobalt blue accent lighting…not bad, but not my style!

The breakfast area is spacious and filled with windows and light!

Here are the "after" photos! We had the cabinets painted white, replaced the backsplash with something more neutral and retro-fitted the accent lighting with "woven shades" (more on this project later!) I am THRILLED with the changes…

My white barstools look great, and I am loving my collection of black lanterns and nautical photographs here.

The woven shades add an interesting natural touch to the space.

The potted orchid with starfish was a housewarming gift from friends…two of my favorite things! White orchids and starfish…so thoughtful of them!

We are loving our new breakfast area too…the large table can accomodate 6-8 comfortably- yay! Now we don't have to eat in the formal dining room every time we have company!
